“Davidson seemed to bring some passion to this show early on, McKay felt busy promoting his (surprisingly awesome) movie. I would agree with reviews that noted the odd chemistry between Adams-something that adding new hosts only seemed to reaffirm.
Topics were hit or miss, then the regular hosts faded out - maybe I missed the episode that explained where they went - and the producer Rachel Ward and whoever they could rope in to help her just couldn't pull it off.
Gimlet does well when it creates shows that are a forum for the hosts (and producers/team I'd imagine) to explore what they love. We as listeners come to love it too and we build a real human connection with the show. When we are dragged through a trivia fest by unnaturally exuberant but (not personally engaged) hosts, we listeners hang out for a while, then depart.
If you're tired of Surprises, try the work of another Gimlet producer who appears on Reply All: Sruthi Pinnamaneni”Read full review »

“I love interesting topics and many different facets to them. But this show takes the mundane most boring things and makes them superbly interesting. Can't wait for more episodes.”Read full review »

“The hosts play up how 'fascinated' they are the whole time, but you can't fool me; Adam McKay's aunt and stories about concrete aren't any more interesting than they sound on face.”Read full review »
